Sorry to hear it. My prayer is that it is nothing serious and that he
is soon better.

Absolutely.  Hope it is something fixable.  Extra scritches for Smokey, and
some hugs for you too.

Well said and a meee tooo.  Oh my,,,, I just had a flash back to all that
was involved in having to put my little Chelsea to sleep.   The cancer had
gotten into her lungs and life was just too painful after two procedures.  I
feel your pain.

Kate,
My dog had problems with her liver enlarging and pushing on the
stomach.  After the vet did some tests, the result was she had
Cushing's Syndrome.  He put her on Mitatine, a half tablet every third
day and she is doing fine now.  The pills are a little expensive, but
I only have to get them every 3rd or 4th month.  There was a resultant
situation of stones in the bladder, but surgery fixed that and now she
is a very happy puppy (actually, she is 12-1/2 years old) and liver
has reduced, stomach is in normal place.  He does keep her on a
special dog food, but it's not really too expensive.

Best wishes,
Loujean

Well Smokey has cirrhosis...how does a dog get that?? Anyway he's on a
special diet and SAM-E. I added milk thistle and Vitamin E which I read
is good for a dog with liver disease. He is feeling a bit better and
more active today..Those prayers are working. I just wasn't ready to
hear you have to put him to sleep. How ironic my arthritic dog (like
me) now has cirrhosis like my brother..karma?
Gwen Love - 11 Jul 2005 01:12 GMT
Kate, were you adding a little something to Smokey's water bowl?  <bg>

Seems like it sometimes.  My younger daughter has asthma like I do and so
does my youngest grandson.  Not unusual, but none of us are blood relatives.

My older daughter just got a new dog whose name is Karma.

> Well Smokey has cirrhosis...how does a dog get that??

cirhosis:  A chronic liver disease characterized
pathologically by liver scarring with loss of normal
hepatic architecture and areas of ineffective
regeneration.

Alcoholism and chronic viral hepatitis are the most
common causes.  Other causes are autoimmune, biliary,
cardiac, nutritional (fatty liver), genetic, or toxic
(exposure to drugs/agents in excess, such as Vitamin A,
carbon tet, and methotrexate).

alcoholic c.
atrophic c.:  liver decreased in size
cardiac c.
fatty c.
hypertrophic c.:  liver greatly increased in size
infantile c.:  result of protein malnutrition
metabolic c.:  result of metabolic disease
obstructive billary c.
primary billiary c.:  progressive form in middle-age women
syphilitic c.
toxic c.:  drug induced
zooparasitic c.: infestation with animal parasites

... Polls show 8 out of 5 schizophrenics agree.

I had a cat who died strangely and the only thing the
vet found wrong with her otherwise healthy body was
cirrhosis of the liver. Really makes you shake your
head. So glad you have him on a medical program.
